Mmm, new plurk smell. : D
yessssssss
still crisp and neww
Happy new year echo and eko!
first off the bat, shin being 'i am a genius oh no' about being at the new year's party
sometimes i think about shin ai and how that dude is definitely not as okay as he appears
happy new year coco!!! : D
one of the more lowkey pieces of chardev shin's had that i love is a willingness to like... express curiosity and not feel like he's being dumb or stupid for ittt
i also love that it's canon that he likes to just. listen to people he likes go on about things :' ) he wants to hear your infodumping
he was so caught up in the sheer fuck it smash a glass on the ground horrible alcohol euphoria of daring people not to give a damn that he forgot there were, in fact, people who would give a damn
she doessssss i love her so much
someone is playing korean(?) music in the park outside, i am drunk and happy, it is a warm evening with a nice breeze, life is good
shin --> hinata i need to stop using 'dwbi' so much but it is funny it's started to crop up w him
please take care of hinata kun hes a cry baby
it's okay so is shin they will be great friends
komaedas cry babies love that
shin in the perfect middle of the komaedaling crybaby ven diagram
HE REALLY ISSSSS no tears (komaeda) real tears (shin) fake tears (ouma)
holy shit you're right
the trifecta......
i love that shin's tears are real but bc of what he's saying at the time sometimes they can seem fake
RIGHT hes trying so hard to fake them but the real eyes realize real lies (his faking like he aint crying but he is)
there's something to that though... the null and then one side and then the other..... can't put my finger on it but i like it
dsfdgfdfs yeah.... he's genuinely upset......... trying to suck his tears back up into his eyeballs
god im
not sure if i thought to put it in the brackets text but
he probably was tearing up/crying when sara was strangling him
sighs shin his troubles and his tears, he really do be doing sumn to my heart... upset crying and scared and somuch going on when sara ded her evil deed
it kills me bc it so utterly blindsided him, like he just cannot see how his words lead to her actions
so now it feels like she could flip out on him and do the same at any time
..........and he's still antagonizing her puts head in hands
me at annie like would he take the hint
'unfortunately probably not' 'yeah probably not'
it's that like. urge for some sense of control over it i think
same with him not wearing the scarf, those two times people didn't seem to care about him getting hit in the head left a mark
shin --> meng yao thinks about how shin being smiley is as much of a defense as shin being pointed
for someone who's so cautious shin does make some impulse decisions sometimes, which is at least helpful here
im crying tho a photo... really isn't a substitute for a physical exam
weirdest sensation this morning, of waking up happy against my will
waking up grumpy against my will is a little more familiar
shin --> rantaro + kaede thinking about the shuichi comparison and he's got the curiosity and reasoning things out but also unfortunately the tendency to jump to entirely reasonable yet mostly wrong conclusions and stick to them
wakes up w 33 tags in my inbox ok time to get cracking
dsfsdsfdgffdsdsf our evils pains
look at him! look at his one exclamation point!
shin --> naegi crying at the concept that just a couple days later, he would have warned him about sara too
WHAT IS WRONG W SHIN AS IF THAT WASNT THEIR IDEA TOGETHER
HES SO SICK AND ILL IN HIS HEAD
LISTEN ONE OF THE WORST THINGS IN SHIN'S MIND IS KILLING SOMEONE WHO DEPENDS ON U and he sees the teachers as having responsibility for their students
komaeda gaining marks for helping him rescue his, losing them for killing his own :''' )
mention of barrier spell in discord and having to slap me mental hands away
spells shin can probs do/learn but is stuck at the basic level probably
- fire, electricity, heal, barrier
anything more impressive he'll have to put work into designing and making smth to do
shin --> sara im just the guy laying on the monopoly board in the draw your squad meme
shin --> helena every time i'm like is shin too awkward i remember 'you mean that mint toothpasty stuff?'
JLKSJDJLKD
ME WHEN I WROTE IT IM LAUGHINGG
komaeda is just so.... komaeda, i love him
when will shin teach him some home training... so he can be.. half-komaeda
dsfdgdfsd shin is that guy getting pulled along by his dog
his dog was like i want this toy back no off, must click on at photo, now play!!
sfdgfhgdsfdf just doing the little bow and wag with tongue out
IM CRYINGGG hes just a pomeranian
but when hes pa he can become a pom
yesssss floofy
you get so much white fluff brushing him
do we get to make him hypoallegnic
yes, we can be nice
he is avoided for other reasons
NOT OTHER REASONS ur right he takes your bones
im crying bc this is both komaeda AND shin to an extent
words are like knives, tools and weapons
something i noticed with helena, and now here is that... shin gets uncomfortable when someone focuses on him well meaningly but in a way where it's all about him bc it doesn't feel equitable or makes him feel talked down to
esp if his attempts at return serves are rerouted back into it
he really does do best when it's more of an exchange, or, well, the opposite, where he's the one fussing from that implicit position of power, bc he's a little bit of a hypocrit
it's just a little bit worse here bc, well, suspicion about motives dial has got turned back up again
shin --> subaru you've successfully appealed to his sense of curiosity, he's opening the above a crack
the above also applies to his cr with subaru interestingly as well, there's a lot more like, back and forth between them
when shin shows interest in things that komaeda taught sumn else and i just think thats so cute
dsfdgdgfgd it's like komaeda's teaching him indirectly
komaedas not too far away in shins life
always nearby or on the horizon
he's holding down the fort for npc kun
shin --> sara anti-bartering, where you pay someone to
not give you something
and

at inaba thinking she's a bother, noooo
points my eyes @ ur tl for later
im crying at the level of markup here he got these for ~10Y each
im crying over how me and enh said
amami and komaeda are so rich they dont really
care how much they put on the table bc its no loss to them so ppl at stores must get excited when they come around
fdggdfdgf
which of them is the type to go into a store and go 'oh i love this i want it' 'want what' 'all of it'
i think amamis the type if he sees u picking stuff up
enh has to confirm im throwing at walls but i thought that was the cutest tiktok
also the all of it one reminds me of komaeda and hinata... komaeda woul djust do that shit to make hinata go insane
yeah shins on that list he'd do it for don't let amami catch him looking at kamokuns overpriced stuff
its like that christmas list meme
? don't be mad because amami has friends wtf
remember it for when i drop komaeda
do you see how she's threatening me?
holding a gun to komaeda's head
i love that amami would do that for his friends inc shin it's sweet
STOP WHO IS HOLDING THE GUN TO HIS HEAD
ill brb i need to check my eggs
go fight win
sfdgf YOU ARE NMS
shin --> blood drive i got very confused about what format this post is doing but we're all having fun and that's what matters
ah fuck am i getting another migraine
i used to think this was heatstroke whenever it happened bc one of the warning signs is feeling unbearably hot
omg did you eat something that raised your blood pressure?
maybe? usually i have really low blood pressure so it's strange
for some reason biking around outside in the norwester solved it mostly? this is the opposite of what should happen but i'm not looking it in the mouth
alright whatever works they say
dsfdgfsd if it's blood pressure maybe it helped lower it?
i still feel weird but not 'oh god' weird
norwester has a reputation with fucking with ppl bc it's a hot dry electrically charged wind that happens for hours per day and sometimes even at night
imagine pointing a hair dryer at your all of you and it's that
im crying i never knew biking outside would help bc i thought youd pass out or sumn from exhaustion thats why im like oh? but i also take blood pressure pills so maybe you can talk to ur doctor abt it juuuuust in case :thinking:
i mean, maybe this is just a fluke or sm who knows
it might be worth a shot, this doesn't happen that often and doesn't last longer than a day when it does so it didn't occur to me to go to the doctor abt it
but yeah exercise is one of the things that lower bp if you do it regularly so
that said it makes it higher in the moment so hm
mysteries
shin --> joe he's on his 'im not nice this just makes sense' streak again
Joe opens the water bottle to try to drink it while lying down and accidentally water boards himself
I can't believe Shin reached out to Joe while he was so weak that he can't punch him in the face LOL
dsfdgdsfdg his secret plan all along... that he didn't actually plan
they've both been nerfed by blood loss so the result would probs be the same
it's joe's turn for wedge-driving :' )
oh i love that...
hehehehe
i was like : 3c writing it
kintsurugi gets a lot of play as symbolism, but... there really is something to me, about finding something discarded or broken and doing your best for it
it's used a lot but that's because it really is a good one
exactly
an oldie but a goodie
shin COULD have lead with 'idk she attacked me for no reason' which is what it feels like to him honestly but he knows that's a bit much to expect to fly when he's so puzzled about it himself
clutching my head trying to work out what the fuck was going on in the second main game, i thought i had escaped
I DRAGGED IT BACK UP FROM THE GRAVE
TO BE FAIR THIS WAS MY FAULT
me like: oh this would be a good chance to give ranger a recap actually
me now: string board trying to figure out who voted for who and why
and who worked out what when
im crying i can't imagine doing this on a timer
this is why i say in a death game i would probably be the alice
i'm going to fall back on my saving throw; being vague as hell
but this mystery will haunt me
SAME god i'd be alice too
that one t shirt saying We Are All Alice
realised belatedly that memory wiping kind of obviates the time thing since he can't know for sure, but he can overlook things
this gets so much funnier given shin does not know komaeda's naegi's no. 1 fan
"you have my sympathies"
"Some old old part of him might have been a little jealous... if he didn't know better.]"
UGH I GOTTA STOP READING LINTS TAGS ITS A PERSONAL ATTACK
there's just. so much here
日和
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
ME shin tags hurt me
shin --> sara on the one hand this represents quite a bit of progress on shin's part. on the other hand, ouuuuhgh
shin --> naegi if it had been a couple more days sara would have been on that list, but if it had been a couple more days he wouldn't have been talking to naegi
naegi: what is going on
shin: my ex bestie but my bestie b4 I woke up is crazy and idk what to do abt him ngl but stay away from him and these other ppl
komaeda: i like how he warns people abt me first all the time
dsfdgdsdfdf i'm picturing komaeda making a little heart with his hands in the background
god tho that really does sum it up im crying
komaeda like it's free (negative) PR
shin --> sara thinking about the ways they deal with guilt and self-loathing
YTTD AU Maker if there's no tags it's bc this is currently consuming my life
shin --> nene google history: how to reassure someone you're fine
tossing around the investigation in my head... i'll probably have a better idea of where to throw shin in after lunch
there's reason for him to get involved with the soulless stephanie stuff or the wolf stuff from prior experience but hm
shin --> miyuki i love when i get to draw on things shin's tried before, because he did something similar when sara was freaking out over a body
miyuki is a stranger but he's got that template now

nenes so proud right now
he's feeling the distant nene beams
shin --> miyuki kind as he is he's also socially awkward and sometimes tactless
shin --> police rp pretending to be someone who he knows is currently alive feels weird but he's already locked in
shin --> miyuki crying at shin being like 'i'll take responsibility.............................. this is too much responsibility actually'
ordinarily he might have just gone and got a blanket to put over her but he's genuinely worried about Wolf
shin --> sara when the part of you that's righteously upset and the part of you that's getting a clearer picture of events over time are getting in a slapfight
me looking at the tannoy like will i get to use the megaphone icon again. we will see. it is a mystery
SOLVE THE MYSTERY TSUKIMI-KUN SHOW ME UR DETECTIVE SIDE
fdgfgdf ALL HE KNOWS IS FROM VIDEO GAMES
and from listening in the monthly meetings
and that's about it
komaeda: god why are you so pathetic i love that
im crying he actually did ref ace attorney in a tag one
listen he's a shut in of course he's going to be a massive nerd
he named rei, rei.
which is also a ytts ref but he doesn't know that
but hes komaedas #3 reason
komaeda really is like look at him, my poor little meow meow
he really is komaedas poor lil meow meow
he struggles, but he got the spirit
and he tries, oh my god does he try, in this institution
shin getting shit done here
we get him a magnifying glass
i think this is the first time he's been on the scene of one of the bodies proper, proud of him
dsfdg yessss
wait hang on where's that art
we're taking shin for the drs, he would have solved our problems by trial 3
we can have the good drs but you can't have any of the yttds
STOP GIVE US HIM LOOK AT SHIN
network announcement being replied to by hiro
THERES NO MANGIFYING CLASS THAT HAS CAT EARS
me im sad whats the point if my meow meow cant have the meownifying glass

like this but w/ the glass in the middle :/
meownifying glass nms ilu
and dsfdg god, shin in sdr2 he'd be so stressed and doing his Thing but at least he wouldn't murder? might be murdered? actually come up with plausible suggestions at trials?
kills me too bc before everything went tits up you'd have been able to see his more relaxed if confused vibe
YES
i'm picturing it in my head i love it
sakasaki: NO HE'S NOT? HE HAS A FUNCTIONING BRAIN?
I WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU IF YOU TRY TO TAKE HIM
shin be like i know that chicken didnt get turned into a cow
THEYRE FUNCTIONING TEENAGERS WHO ARE GETTING THERAPY
he has too many braincells to be a dr
monomi would love shin stop
she'd treat him like how she treats komaeda
I'M NOT STICKING HIM WITH THOSE ASSHOLES
he's just staring at it trying to figure out the trick
NOT THE TRICK IN THE LIGHT its fine
anyway komaeda's a yttd now
sometimes i think abt they was in a simulation when the chicken was turned into a cow
but even outside the simulation they can do that
i think he might work out it's a simulation early and it would really fuck with him
bc they turned that dog big
I THINK HE WOULD TOO IM LAUGHING HE'D BREAK THE SIMULATION AND JUNKO WOULD KILL HIM V3 STYLE
not amami allowed in.....hell yes
'shin why are you running against the wall, you're gonna hurt yourself' 'listen when i get the right angle this'll all make sense'
the ultimate pharmacist made a drug that makes things big if ingested
yessss
grabby hands at amami.... become a yttd
its really small but she made it big
god im crying ok, that'll be my reaction to anything in dr now: 'ok'
i HATE shin trying to clip through the wall
amami and komeda are both floormasters now
this makes me wish ko had told him his early theory
that yogen was also a simulation
IT MAKES ME LAUGH BC sdr2 simulation komaeda everything he doubts is actually real
oh trust me shin has absolutely had that thought and it's kept him up at night
IM CRUING KOMAEDA MET KIRIGIRI AND WAS LIKE
SHE SAID ITW ASNT A SIMULATION
AND HES LIKE...................HUH
but he did believe yogen was a simulation for a long time
ok komaedas allowed to be a yttdand yall can stay yttds but only if amami's allowed into the cool kids party too'
danganronpa who never heard of her
shin brought it back up again and komaedas like god.............
crying at the two of them being handshake meme of 'is this real if our eyes aren't real'
simulations for komaeda be like
amami can absolute sit at the cool kids table
guest of honor
ok if u die we'll wake back up so its fine
when komaeda got mad bc he wanted to follow his dog or w/e
yes amami is allowed to be a yttd we kidnapped him
well ranger kidnapped him
we're just poaching the best drs
dsfdgfdf crying bc in yogen you do eventually wake up and it's fine
HLEP NOT YOU DO EVENTUALLY WAKE UP
komaeda would say leave him where he is
HELP U EVENTUALLY WAKE UP
hinata can't be a floormaster
hinata's next on the hitlist
him and sara battle for protag spot
we already decided it's shin, sara, komaeda and amami
he could've snuck in but amami was like NO MY SLOT NOW
sara surrendering protag rights for floormaster rights to make room for hinata its fine we've got this worked out
komaeda has struggles w hinata bc its like YES we're married outside the simulation but god ur pathetic bc ur doing this dumb shit so im mad at you but ill help u
thats how thei rrelationshop is actually
STOP HINATAS TITS ARE FAT
floormaster sara is a tragedy in two words
WHILE SARA TAKES FLOORMASTER
ranger's decided on the floormaster assignments no one can change it
shuts him down edits his memory boots him up
komaeda aiming for trauma out here
i dont listen to bunny anymore
you don't even know how to shut him down
the hacking gun works u gave me permission
you don't even know where to plug in
U LITERALLY SAID IN DISCORD I COULD
a new ranger will be born
so he can go harass komaeda
NO ONE IS TOUCHING KOMAEDAS MEOW MEOW
anyway he can bother shin
so he's going to bother all the yttds
isn't shin komaeda's meow meow?
I WAS SAYING MIDORI CANT TOUCH HIM
not komaeda unfaithful to his meow meows
AND THEN MIDORIS GUNNA BOTHE RKOMAEDA SO I TOOK IT BACK
shins his only meow meow STOP
crying
shin watching battle of the century midori vs komaeda
megalovania is playing for some reason
(yama voice) that feels right
STOP I'M TRYING TO DO THIS INVESTIGATION COMMENT TO SHIN AND Y'ALL DISTRACTING ME
thinkin how theyre meow meow imprinted
anyway go kill ranger so i can app midori
ppl on twitter wont let me
komaeda has to kill on his anniversary
so maybe ranger is the anniversary death
he'll take rangers chip and get down on one knee and give it to shin
U KINDA ARE PEOPLE ON TWITTER
he doesn't even know where his chip is or that he HAS a chip
he'd have no idea wtf it is
he has animatronic energy
i wont let go im attached to him a leech
fnaf came out in komaedas time
not komaeda fnaf canon aware
bUT HE LITERALLY WORKED AROUND MONOKUMA BOTS HE'LL KNOW RANGER HAS SUMN IN HIM spare parts
only, and yet somehow worst, marriage proposal shin's ever had
asunaro ain't hacks like y'all
nobody knows wtf's going on with their tech, not even them
i wish v3 had a timeline like that
nms!
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
STOPOOPPP komaedas marriage themed he'd do it right just wait 7 years shin
me and lint over there with the charlie stringboard tryin to figure out where the usb port is
OK BUT U CHOSE THE CUTEST PLACE
at some point asunaro started making tulpas and didn't realise
fdgfgdfs YEAH
OUR PIXEL HUNTING
awwww true
my goal b4 yogen ends, gather last names
okay despite y'all's best efforts i managed to post that comment
im crying, komaeda finally adding tsukimi to his list of last names -jinx
OUR PIXEL HUNTING it was fun
its fine me with anything in v3 ever. i just look at what they gave us and go "thanks it was useless" and pick what seems cute
he had it pre yogen ngl, thats why rokkuns the way he is im sure of it
sometimes canons be like that
it really was fun, yttd is like a fun little puzzle at times
thinkin how rokkun hated all past komaedas bc they anyway'd his confession same king
adsfd it's true
the kind of canons you mine for gold in and leave the rest
LSKDF FUCK THOSE KOMAEDAS
I WISH THE METEORS WERE REAL I THINK
SDR2 SHOULD HAVE HAD METEORS BC REMNANTS OF DESAPIR MADE GLOBAL WARMING
same ignores them when they do it
I DID THAT RECENTLY THIS YEAR NOOOO
it has meteors... in our hearts
why love rl when i can love komaeda
it would be nice getting clarification on things but they wont give it to us we'll clarify our own cute ideas !!!!!
who's gonna stop us...........
meteors...
well like if the person's clearly not interested in u idk why u confessing
that sounds like sumn ranger would tell rokkun to his face
dsfdgfhg crying bc someone asked me to the highschool prom once at the start of the year and i just went, ate the food and left and it took me like three years later until i realised they had been interested in me
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'D DO
OMG ONE TIME SOME GIRL HAD A CRUSH ON ME AND
TRYNA GET MY ATTENTION OR SOME SHIT
I THINK I ANYWAYD THAT TOOOO
didnt u not realize at first and she was upset and told u she was purring at u or sumn im cryinggg
i think it's oremonogatari which has a character who's like The Pretty Boy and there's a whole montage of him being confessed to and going "I don't like you."
he knows exactly what he's doing

idk this convo just reminded me of this i guess bc ppl give chocolate to show u they have a crush and all i can think abt is this
the hanamura one always makes me look out my window
TEH WAY HE PUT HIS . IN IT
thinkin how he almost ate hanamura nut but god spared him
no ones getting married YET
im crying that tweet will haunt me
shinvestigation making a mental note about blackboard + lantern for sara to maybe try it
komaeda lived a rough life dont mind him
montage of komaeda with 'it's a hard knock life' playing over it
STOPP I LAUGHED MAYBE HIS PRE YOGEN LIFE WAS BETTER SHINW AS THERE he can eat the chocolates first
komaeda: im not eating this
shin: im not eating it either
shin's natural magnetism towards free food vs knowing what hanamura Is Like
fdgffgdfs shin being a weird grounding rod
i had to reread that three times
mikan and komaeda.... go thru a lot
NOT SHIN A GROUNDING ROD he truly is what keeps komaeda out the hospital
taking a break to go pick some plums!
they're gonna go into making plum and elderberry brandy
shinvestigation crying thinking about if shin ever murders and there's teal hair everyone would know immediately
i love this bc i made a draft for a thing that never really eventuated but it does involve midori mentioning this piece of trivia
while messing with shin's hair, because of course
SFDFGFDSDFDGF IT REALLY IS
along with 'i'm normal now (lying)'
they areeee
i'm crying usually shin's the one meeting someone new and assigning them a kintype from the list of people he's already met, but kaede was like 'oh he's a saihara' and she is right
man there were two things i made a mental note to check and one of them's disappeared from my mind... it'll come back probably
okay i think it was the filing cabinets, phew
ohhh i found this detective art
source 
from the same set
it just needs the kitty ears on the magnifying glass and it's complete
the expression in the second one gets me

'why are you like this'
shinvestigation shin's a thorough sort but not wanting to go outside and face miyuki is making him
extra thorough
me sitting here like. does shin know enough to put things together about the death penalty
after contemplating.... he's got some idea but he needs a little more to put it together
ohhh, does shin think he has it figured out? or is his idea about something else
it's more like.... after the practicum and finals there were people in pain and possibly screaming at midnight
but also........... practicum and finals
he was going to be like 'we'll find out at midnight anyway' but then i was like wait how much does he actually know
OOHH yeah that makes sense
unless it's now common knowledge, that's all he has
dsfdgf he hasn't figured out much about the murder other than the obvious, im wondering now if he knows possession is a thing
i think it hits right as the sound disappears if it's at midnight... hmm yeah i'm not sure if it's gotten around yet
i'd actually like to know that too come to think of it
ye
i'm hoping one of the character who've experienced it or seen someone experience it brings it up as an idea... which would then make it common knowledge
possession's trickier bc it's only happened once i know of and it's one of those things i think where you either were there or you werent
but it does add an element to things
twice i thiiink!? in a murder context anyway, natsume and clamor were both possessed, natsume's was just shorter
oh right i forgot about clamor and redacted that's def enough for him to keep the possibility in mind then
though that one wasn't exactly reversible
then again they did sort of possess narumi and come back
YEAH i think possession is p reasonable to know about... its true newer characters might need a recap on that "don't break something tied to a persons soul" thing
"it's a bad idea! don't do it!"
god... that... might happen if anyone murders rei, too
good yessss i can have him be sitting on the possibility, then
WHO WOULD HURT HER SHES AN ANGEL
PWEASE NO HURT REI
im crying you'd have the entire programming club hating your guts
crying im deep in the nankidai sketches again and this one is making me lose it
shin --> joe me on my quest to make the summer festival nankidai sketches
kind of canon
shin --> komaeda he's not quite as in bad shape as logic sou, but there's patterns to how he reacts to things
shin --> sidney for someone known to be a liar, shin really does like showing/telling people things
shin --> ranger keep thinking about him calling midori midori... he puts a lot of stock in names
shin also being like. there is NO way asunaro would let malware anywhere near ranger, and he's right
shin --> ranger shin judging all the expensive stuff on the first floor is my favourite thing
me like how much could i get away with shin having done a magic project in the background this month
i want the return of the Scarms
been kind of handwaving his tutoring tho so hm
keep thinking about that small theme of selfishness when it comes to shin and midori. he calls midori a big ball of desires at some point
shin: selfishness
komaeda: we gunna fix u one day
he's got a teeny tiny bit of a point, even coming from the doldrums
(drs komaeda voice) I've been explaining hope for years but no one understands
there's some massive flaws in it :' )
dfdsdfd yessss
SFDGF komaeda needs a translator
EVERYTIME HE EXPLAINS IT AND SOMEONES LIKE IT DONT MAKE SENSE and I'm like yes I'm doing it right
WHERES HIS TRANSLATOR HELPP we don't want that then he'll be too powerful
sdfdgfdf he'll actually be able to grow his hope cult then
he got 3 ppl in his hope cult
shin is in it now bc komaedas worried abt him and he has no choice like rokkun had no choice
fsdghfgdfh he's getting the button pin
shin's gonna get that sweet sweet hope cult money
komaedas sugar daddy midori era back again
crying at 'strong hope devours weak hope' still
shin in the background like I KNEW IT
it IS about power
that's why maya dead her hope was weak af
look shin can be proud his hope was stronger
he's like that one meme image of the guy pointing with mouth open where is it
dsfdgfgd are you saying he killed maya????
he killed maya and ate her to consume her hope
damn i can't find it
SDFDGDFGDSDFD
this has all been to throw everyone off the track, we solved it
shin killed maya and ate her hope and now he gives it to everyone like a mother bird
fdgfhhfgd like one of those penguines, i type and then immediately regret
shin: maybe putting my heart into bonds was a bad idea
also shin: deeply concerned about what komaeda is doing to helena
shin --> komaeda it's really interesting to see where words do and don't stay in the brackets text
i'm also hhh bc like
on the face of it komaeda is trying to cheer him up and shin's being a little bit of a dick about it, but all the context.... hh
i can't even say the full extent of the hh bc i don't want to spoil nms
closes eyes in pain.... this frightens me to my core
tbf even shin doesn't remember the full extent but his subconscious sure does
i'm refusing to look up how to dust for prints until the last minute i'm trying to see if i can do it off memory and see how right i am
help not these death game characters and their vanishing abilities
they really are adept at the vanishing act
THEY REALLY ARE
im crying it's the floor masters and... shin
honorary floor master
komaeda also, also bc he is an honorary floor master
the vanishing act and also the appearing act
i'm crying i think i remember mentioning in a tag at some point the thought of 'shin should not have been this hard to find in a confined floor, and yet'
IT REALLY IS komaeda is like midori's cousin or smth
is is an honorary floormaster though, he's really good at it... i'm laughing, shin really does have it down to an art
dsfdgfdfs he learnt from the best :' )
he really did... midori's ability to just randomly show up and then disappear is kinda insane
it's interesting to see where like
shin has normal guy versions of these skills (or cargo cult attempts)
and then you see midori and you're like
oh
it's another paper on my stringboard of 'midori wasn't originally going to be a character and was split off from sou' bc like
it's like you can see the translation and then the adjusting of allll the dials
keep thinking about shin being described as nimble with the mine cart attraction but midori is explicitly nimbler
he 'learnt many things'....
thinking about this is always kind of fucked but it gets fucked the more you think about it
one day it is my wish for shin to be so hard to find helena has to use the Tap
YEAH tbh I think you're right, they were originally gonna be one character
every day i think about that one deleted scene like
like ultimately i'm glad nankidai went this direction because I think it genuinely does add a lot to shin's character, but it's fun to see the layers of it
and it does explain why alice's lack of reaction is a bit of a plot hole rip
like not an egregrious one but there's those seam lines there
i have a fascination with the way you end up with artefacts in a story as it evolves over time and yttd was an unexpected treasure trove for this
buck wild to think that through the whole of 2-2, 3-1 must have been percolating with this so much
it's also funny-sad in a meta sense bc like... midori is the worst of sou, drawn off, distilled, and then retroactively responsible for it, like a weird narrative ouroboros
this also means he's joe's cousin or smth in this layer of looking at it, i don't make the rules
also i see alice on the tdm
i see him
SOON
I know that Alice they're SOOOOO cute
I hope so! they're very sweet and they're an amazing Alice
the yttd power... it grows
i can't wait
i need to ask them where they got the handwriting image too because now i know what shin's handwriting looks like
HIS HANDWRITING IS SOOO CUTE
it's got a very penstroke vibe : D
i like his line under the " it looks happy
me comparing shins handwriting to komaedas now that i know which is his
i can't quite make out that kanji bc handwriting is my nemesis but it's sou in katakana and then nina~
also funny is that everyone else seems to have written more than just that
SHINS LIL TILDY HANDWRITING AND THEN WHATEVER lego blocks handwriting komaeda has going on sighs two types of komaedalings
shin aint got much to talk abt when hes a listener not a talker
now we gotta find out ouma's handwriting
HE REALLY IS it's kind of interesting, bc he can ramble when nervous or excited but his default inclination is being quiet
like the more time goes on the more impressed i am at like. even if it didn't work out how he wanted, stepping up to take the lead in trials really doesn't come naturally to him, so props for that
i was gunna say we know oumas
but idk if that was really his lemme see
that would be his but u know thats when everyone was tryna find out who was writing it
so im like... could they not tell it was his handwriting etc did he fake it? is that him? but this the only time i can remember when seeing his handwriting
tbf they didn't have much chances to learn it
sfdgf they didn't check everyone's i don't think
true they kinda was runnin around
the komaeda energy of putting a note knowing no one recognizes ur handwriting
and huh, the kanji there is like... 'hold/have' but without context i have no idea what he means by it
choosing to believe it's something like 'sou was here'
dsfdgfgdf the power, the anonymity
ouma's handwriting is cuteee
what does komaeda's look like?
NOT SOU WAS HERE that sounds so scary out of context
dsfdds or more like 'sou had this (piece of paper)' which is hilarious if true
ohhh i love it
it's all blocky!
oh ok yeah now thats more scrunkly
NOOOO IM LAUGHING EVERYONE AGREES ITS BLOCKY
why does he write like that and to think hes like a person from upperclass i hate him
religious dislike of curves
like something in your lunchbox you don't like
i'm picturing komaeda's hand moving like a printer
wish komaeda was one of those people who liked other peoples handwriting to pick up how they do them maybe shin could have saved his printer era
fsdgfdf komaeda knows where he's at, printer for life
god now im wondering if like that's shin's handwriting or if he's copying THAT as well
oh wait my reading comprehension oTL
gotta tweak it a bit so it makes sound
shin's hearing is good but is it that good is now the question
it works even better
bc it's twice now in non canon universes he's been drawn in by a yabusame's singing/humming
want to tag but my brain is [dialup noises]
lies on floor i need to fix my blackout curtain
shin --> hinata i've got my head in my hands bc the drs are having these nice new years moments with him but he's not in much of a state to reciprocate
i'm also like. having trouble accessing the database in my head of like
his timeline of mental states and how they're affecting him and all the interlocking pieces of him so if something's a bit weird that's why
but honestly i'm probs overthinking it
okay yeah once again after food i was totally overthinking it
sara, later: go on, you can tell me i'm like midori
shin, later: : X
the soggy pizza aficionados will hate this one
got the idea and spent some time mucking about with dice rolls simulating a yttd style game with yogen characters
it's going well but there has to be a way to automate this
shin --> bonnie a handy reason this might not happen in future investigations
it does mean i'm crying at the contrast between joe and noah here shin your biases
I MEAN LIKE.... Noah didn't punch him so LMAO
when did joe punch him omg
new year's party
(we're still threading it out tho cause my slow ass)
fdgfdgf (it's okay take your time)
dsf tbf shin will deserve it
implying TM things about sara
and it's true there is that difference... :' ) the yttds, i love them
even if shin deserved it doesn't mean Joe should've done it
but my man's in hell LMAO
they are all problems town
the yttd telenovela
true........... adsfdg joe's been under a lot of stress he's allowed a mistake
he is the gate to hell and he doesn't want to be :' )
THE GATE TO HELLSKDFDSFKSJ
fun fact my joe journal was a Sara journal first
then I decided to stop lying to myself about who I wanted to play LMAO
SFDGFGFSDFDG you were like no, i have my calling
your joe is excellent too thank you so much
WOOOOOW THANK YOU
hehehe
i've been having a lot of fun tagging him
sfdfs he's okay he's just a little tired...
they have a routine now....
shin --> inaba some part of shin's subconscious is realising she's more like himself than sara
shin --> sara he can't see sara taking the time to nail someone to the ceiling, but....
if you go by the nankidai sketches even 2kg is too much for him, but he canonly doesn't like backpacks since they hurt his shoulders iirc
sent in the investi, time to go shopping for dinner
shin --> nanami it's a shame he's not wearing his red scarf rn for maximum Metaphors
this is like 30% lies by volume, more if you count omission
shin --> nanami shin voice: you can't say this ISN'T a nightmare-banishing ritual
i got a bit carried away but i wanted something comprehensive i can just link to as needed
if miyuki a accusing shin I maybe gotta drop in.....
sdhghfgdfdfg ranger coming in with the steel chair
ranger... not kill him bc no one appreciate that sigh but if shin sus he would vouch for him
even if shin was the murderer?
in a way I don't think many others would bc... ranger think shin would kill but like... he thinks shin would kill for what would matter for him looks up
SIGH... idt ranger would care if he was bc I think he rly do think highly of him where it's like... if shin did it he'd logic it out

which tbh... is just him and sara and only if it don't overlap

ranger.....
yeah shin's not the sort to kill wantonly or frivolously at all
or well, in his mind he'd have a very good reason
like... tbh I think ko his important person but those two are the ones that he sees as different bc they can do better
I legit think if one of them murdered... he'd do some string logic for them which is not common for him
oooh go on?
yeahh hhh thinkning about he dodged a bullet on that with sara almost murdering shin
so I've described his priority order as being kinda... komaeda > asunaro ≥ sara/shin which... tbh I think it's red v blue and I think for ranger he's so desperate for affection that red would win
but I think for most ppl... he doesn't care so why would they, so he'd just logically go thru murder and yank them out and not care
but I think... he sees those two as different in a way the first two greater than or equal to tiers AREN'T where it's like ko is comfy bc he kill anyone, ASUNARO is comfy bc they're as God made them...
but I think he sees his two s-name kids as the first two ppl (that aren't ko) who approached him here as a person to start... in different ways yeah but even shin's approach just made sense... and then he found them increasingly human...
... so now it's like... i think he has a lil cognitive dissonance where asunaro is superior in every way... except he sees these two kids as more human and he wants them to be happy in the way the rest of em couldn't be
the red vs blue.... maybe it's the other way around too
the status quo for others or the potential of destruction and growth for the self
maybe i'm mixing it up but hh god
he wants people to have escaped the maw
YEAH LIKE... I don't think he'd care if one of them killed, he'll be their ally even if no one else is tbh. But I do think he don't want that for them... bc it'd do smth to them and I don't think he wants either of them to fall into that pit.
he wants it to be possible even if he sees it as too late for him
yeah... he'd stand by them but he'd not want it to get that far in the first place
which is putting a fun light on him showing up whenever shin and sara are starting to hiss a little again
I think he's cool with being a scapegoat n I think if was for one of those two he might... bc he genuinely sees them as asunaro but not. like... the parts that he loves but Allah the parts that he didn't know he wanted bc he's never been loved
like... tbh I think a lot about how shin just threw that wire at him bc that really hecked ranger up so much
like he's an entirely different character for it I think
hhhhhh
asunaro as it could have been, asunaro as he would have liked it to have been, even asunaro has he thought it was
the wished-for asunaro
hhhh yeah just
that
reflexive kindness
shin wasn't even thinking about it (okay his brain was going whirr but in a different direction) and that element of it
YEAH... me thinkin bout that him being a heir line sigh. but I think bc he's gotten so lil like... you show him a lil kindness and he gets confused, but I think shin especially had that potential in a way no one else could bc he tried so hard to midori code
and that kind of kindness and just genuine, no strings help is... the opposite like he was waiting
n I think in December his stupid ai brain was like maybe??? but then... tbh I think it'd solidified too much that Shin rly didn't want anything
SIGH their cr in particular hurts me bc I didn't realize how much effect shin could have
shin didn't like ranger but in this moment, he didn't want him to die, either, and i love it bc i think their talk about asunaro def influenced this decision bc it was kind of like that flick of the switch for shin of like
finding out nao had been threatened with a knife
like shin already knew ai's have it rough but that underscored it
and hhh yeah like
he's been trying so hard to walk midori's walk but at the end of the day at his core he just.... isn't
and im crying bc it didn't occur to him to ask for anything for this (or like, it was one of those 'doesn't feel great' ideas, like the idea of asking rei for anything for making her body shin even doctors charge for their services) but like
after the sara thing he's clawing at like 'you owe me' as a REASON for ranger to stick around and not hurt him and it kills me
but by that point ranger's already realised it wasn't done with any of the like intent at the time
HHHH yeah it's so good i love t
shin being asunaro lite. diet asunaro
if i went to a friend's house and they offered me soup instead of juice or tea they'd be my best friend immediately
yesssss the objectively correct answer
im crying playing this character is making me slowly also really like soups and i can't complain, they're good
that vending machine bit i just
love thinking about it
he's got that Signature Favourite Food
shin --> npc kun god this is warming my heart... dsfd this might have the smile komaeda wished for somewhere in it
they both got what they solod wish for
shin tsukimi smile....... god i keep thinking about it
can't wait for you to get into why komaeda asking that made me hhh nms
MEEEEEEEEEEEEE IMMA PLAY MORE TOMORROW IM..................SHIN TSUKIMI... U MAKE ME SAD WHY DOES EVERYTHING KOMAEDA ASK U HURT WHY WHY!!!
IM CRYING IT'S THE MIDORI CODING IT'S TOO MUCH
this whole thread has been hurting me bc komaeda trying to do something nice for shin for once and shin snapping at him like a coyote tangled in barbed wire
BROOO WHEN HE WAS LIKE LETS TAKE A BREAK I GASPED AND I WAS LIKE YES... the way komaedas touching the barbed wire to do just a LIL good but it still hurts shin sighs my children
THE MIDORI CODINGGOT THEM IN A VICE GRIP HONESTLY cant do anything nice bc midori fucked w his head, do sumn mean midori fucked w his head, and yet komaeda continues looks up, ugh shins gotta get it out somewhere
im crying shin really is the perfect friend for him, will never like him
he's exactly what komaeda's self loathing wants, and yet
maybe the therapy will help... i think the timing was just bad too, this is right after being strangled, even the eroded tolerance of going to puzzles isn't quite there
which is a shame bc it would have been a really cute moment, making wishes :' )
tbh komaeda /knows/ what happened so its like
he knows its shins defense mechanism showing
god ur rright he needs therapy for this IM CRYING
yeah
dsfdgf i love him being like rolling eyes emoji like yeah yeah 'sou hiyori' move out of the way i want to talk to shin
so komaeda doesnt fault him but god does komaeda not listen to anyone but himself but i know how i wanna reply to it so im rubbing my hands toegther
HELP HES LIKE DONT WANNA TALK TO SOU HIYORI RN
'PUT SHIN TSUKIMI ON THE PHONE I WANT TO SAY HI'
'sorry he's not taking calls right now : )'
and oooh i am nervous and excited
dsfdgfd komaeda not listening to anyone but himself it's true even shin knows it with that 'komaeda hears what he wants to'
SHINS GOT HIS SOU MASK ON AND IS TRYNA BLEND OUT OF EVERYTHING komaeda wont let him he chose him as his prey today but hes being awfully considerate which is rare and i just place a hand to my chest sighs shin where are u komaeda is searchin
reaching in and digging around for him
show us ur soft side shin
of course he's scurrying around trying to avoid it it's like a cat paw in a mouse hole
shin --> inaba this is from a man whose response to someone saying he could get her if he got into trouble was to call it a cutting remark
shin --> komaeda me like 'it's a shame shin isn't responding to komaeda reaching out' and then i see this and i'm like you know what fair of him actually
dsfdgf that was cutting it a bit too close, I think i was hoping I could squeak those last few threads under the wire
there's still tomorrow at least but I should go to bed
learning a lot of things about ozoni
staring intently like a cat at that 4/5 hinata thread
i wanna look too what we lookin at
dsfdgf it's shin doing crimes again
komaedalings always up to sumn
stealing a big rectangle of cloth from the sewing club so he can give hinata his jacket back
im crying hinata made the mental comparison between them
he senses the komaedaling energies
shin --> nene his natural habitat, arguing about shows through text
shin --> komaeda one thing i've noticed is depending how guarded he is, things he'd normally say end up staying in the brackets text
nms!
3 years ago @Edit 3 years ago
its fine komaeda's a mind reader (blood type: O)
and it's trueee adsfdgf shin's so used to mindreading types he sometimes assumes people are when they aren't
THATS THEM WHEN THEY LOOK INTO PPLS SOULS AND READ THEIR MINDS
im crying its written on his beanie i promise
dsfdgfgfdgf he looks up and turns it inside out
it's true it's a fun komaedaling trait
shin is both really bad and really good at it at the same time, it's fascinating
NOT TURNS IT INSIDE OUTTT hes right for that, hide it from komaedas all seeing eyes
when they start playing guessing games fr they must be fun at parties
dsfdgfhfgdsf they just stare at each other for a bit and then shin gets up and walks out
komaeda grabbing his leg on the way out
dsfdgfgfdgf he can't even drag him he's stuck straining
IM CRYINGGGG why unstoppable force and unmoveable rock
the hissing at each other has graduated to yowlin
